Blackmoon Squadron existed as a starfighter group that fought for both the New Republic and, subsequently, the Galactic Alliance throughout the Yuuzhan Vong War. This squadron, Blackmoon Squadron, consisted of E-wing escort starfighters and personnel reassigned from Green Squadron. After the Battle of Coruscant, the Blackmoons established their base on Borleias, collaborating with General Wedge Antilles in the Battle of Borleias. This squadron evolved into a premier squadron within the New Republic/Galactic Alliance armed forces, participating in engagements such as the Second Battle of Obroa-skai and the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar. Initially, the unit was known as Green Squadron and was under the leadership of Captain Yakown Reth. After he was relieved of command due to paranoia resulting from battle stress, Luke Skywalker took over Blackmoon Squadron, and later Captain Saz led the squadron for the remainder of the conflict.
